The Mayweather fight was the one that totally gutted me.... The hopes were so high for him to win, and I really thought that he could impose himself enough to take enough rounds off Mayweather... In retrospect he probably did a better job than I really expected.
But seeing Mayweather start to get the better of him and the knock down was heart breaking...
What made Hatton so good to rise to the top was his tenacity and the real edge to his step which kept him sharp... He just didn't have that after Mayweather and the Pac fight was just really sad... In a way it's probably okay that he went down when he did and stayed down, because he would have got his exposed head battered for as long as he was standing..
